Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma International Airport serves Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, as a medium-sized international airport. Located at coordinates 9.624700, 41.854198, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern Ethiopian region. Its elevation of 3827 feet above mean sea level positions it in a significant geographical and transportation context.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 3827 ft MSL means pilots should anticipate performance considerations related to density altitude, particularly during warmer periods. The single runway (15/33) measuring 8791 feet in length provides adequate space for most commercial and regional aircraft operations. Pilots should expect potential thermal variations typical of the region's elevated terrain.
Notable Features
The airport features an asphaltic (ASP) runway oriented in a north-northwest to south-southeast direction (15/33 heading). Its substantial runway length of 8791 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. The airport's location in eastern Ethiopia suggests potential interactions with complex regional terrain and atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 offers flexibility for arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, paying particular attention to the airport's elevated position. Standard instrument approach procedures will be essential given the airport's geographical characteristics and elevation.
